Initially, I thought, a modified B... but, I now think it should return to for more work. My thoughts:

A - I see LUG NUTS - not the best representation/feature of some of your amazing wheel designs. The poster screams, wheels and nothing but wheels.

B - Nice composition, but chromatically dull. Also, full shot of the 4G TL is not appealing to some. Need controlled lighting and get rid of distracting reflections from car. Needs some graphic background - like Bdog's suggestion.

Just my 2 shillings...

I like A more from a style standpoint, however I think from a business standpoint B might be better since it details more of what all you do.

B or the combination pic.

Also I would ignore the "TL is too ugly for the cover" crap. The Acura TL is ugly but the RJ TL looks absolutely sick.

Front cover is good. I hope you didn't send these to the printers yet as the shot of the TL looks subpar. You have tree reflections on the car and numerous hot spots. Get a professional shoot done.

Only a photo freak like you would notice that, I think it's good enough. I wanted to keep the shot as untyouched as possible, as long as no people or cars are in the reflection, it's fine by me.

wow. It's called constructive criticism. If you want to use a picture that looks totally amateur, I guess "to each his own."

Don't take it the wrong way, I didn't mean to sound condesending. But if I start trying to go through every little detail, I'll never finish the catalog. It's like the Mona Lisa, it is never done, it can alwasy be worked on to improve, but at a certain point, you just have to say it's time to print.
